Let Democrats be on Their Guard.


There is scheme being worked
in the politics Of this county which
all loyal Democrats should know.
II is bold scheme. Indeed, had
its supporters been less bold, it
might not have leaked out until
too late TO stife it. II is Intended
to secure the accomplishment OF
one of two points, either of which
will be disastrous to Democracy.
One is To try to stock the primary
meetings on August 18th with
voters who arc not Democrats and
who care nothing for the success ot
the party or pledges made, and ii
these meetings can he thus captured,
then nominate a slate of Indepen-
dents, Republicans, etc, TO suit.
Or, in the event that it is deemed
more cxpedient and that there are
more Independents and what-nots
seeking office than can be accomno-
dated on the tickct-why, then to
have the convention completely
rcvolutionize what has been done by
the Executive Committee of the
Democratic party, and declare the
field open for free race to all.
II is calculated on the one hand
that all real Democrats will support
the mongrel ticket because nomina.
ted by q Convention, Democratic IN
name; and on the other hand, that
II it is decided to make no nomi-
nations, then the present Executive
Committee and all the rest Of the
Democrats of the county will be
completely captured and the party
machinery reversed and in the
hands of their enemies.
In the event that the scheme fails
altogether, it is the fixed purpose OF
the men who are directing it to run
full ticket of Independents against
the regular Democratic nominees,
with themselves in the field for all
the best offices.
The Matching of this scheme
and the uncertainty attending it is
Why some men who are now known
to be candidates and masquerade as
Democrats or Independents accord
ing as the crowd they are in sug
gests, will not announce themselves
in any of the newspapers OF the
county and let it be known whether
or not they will be subject to the
action Of the Convention when it
meets, for in this way they hope to
obtain some advantage of the can
didates who have the manliness to
come out and say where they stand.
We say to all true Democrats in
conclusion that TO be furewarned is
TO be forearmed. We have the best
of authority for stating what we
have, and it behooves all loyal Dem
ocrats who wish to avert the danger
ahead to he on the alert. For the
sake of the party, for the sake Of
the Democratic candidates who
have had the manhood to come out
and show their colors, let US all see
that thsee political Judases who
love the flesh pots Of office better
than party or country or anything
else, do not succeed in carrying out
their dark designs. We desire to
have q Convention and a full ticket
nominated, and expect to stand
Loyalty by the nominees, but let us
have a Democratic Convention that
is q Democratic Convention, not a
set of political traitors who are
seeking the destruction of Demo
cracy ard the accomplishment Of
their own selfish ends.

The banks are weaker, at season when
rapid increase in strength Is expected. The
obvious explanation of tho large increase IN
loans is that advances in aid of grain, cotton,
coffee. real estate and stock speculation may
he inferred from tho course Of the markets
during the past week. People anxious to have
a bull movement succeed make mystery OF
the matter. but the suggestion that some OPP
Grafton connected with the placing OF bonds
abroad accounts for the sudden swelling OF
loans and deposits each nearly $o,OOO,oOO.
coincidently with loss Of specie and legal
tenders, needs explanation more than the bank
statement itself. Tho Treasury has put out
about 5000 600 more money of all kinds than
IL has taken in during the week, but has issued
81 600 600 more silver and 5000, 600 more
cold certificates somew here, not imprObably at
other points against deposits through the banks
here That considerable amounts OF foreign
capital have recently been invested in Amcri-
can securities, and especially in connection
with new roads, is doubtless true but the state
of foreign trade leaves little reason to expect
gold imports al present.
Ncw-York merchandise imports for five weeks
have amounted to $4S ,5S2,3S3, an increase
of 16 per cent over last year. But New orlI
exports for five weeks have amounted to
$40 ,O75, 1881, only 1.S per cent above those
of the same weeks last year, with decided
decrease in each Of the past three weeks. In
| April 1856. merchandise exports were $54.-
Ooo, 600 and imports $57 100000; il the in
crease elsewhere has been at the same ratio
as at Now ork, the excess Of imports this
year has been about $11 100000, and to this
il TO be added allowance for large undervaua-
tons Of imports, freight money and interest
payable abroad, usually reckoncd at about
SlO,OOO,OOO monthly. IL the actual mer-
chandise balance is such as these comparisons
indicate. large amount of securities may have
been taken for foreign account, and consider
able borrowing done in London by Americans
besides. without any movement Of gold. The
fact that gold does not come, Notwithstanding
the low rate of interest abroad and the lack
of demand for money there, needs the move

"The Evening Post argues that I'VE haa
better have no revision of the Constitution
than revision by such body as this bill wouid

II Is sufficiently clear from these expressions
that if Governor Hill takes the grave re-
sponsibiity Of vetoing the measure he can
count upon each one Of these metropolitan
allies Of his to sustain him. 1t is TO be pre-
summed that sThe World would not look upon
the veto as ga glaring usurpation of power,

II is the well settled rule OF our political
system Of government by parties that the ma
iority shall shape the legislation of the session
and be held responsible for its general char
acter. The Republicans in the present Legs
lature acting under this rule, have passed
the Arnold bill. 1t conflicts with no provision
of the Constitutions il runs against no law

machinery that is necessary for holding The
